Bring your sewing kit, fabric of your choice (optional) and imagination to create a unique mini hat with the guidance of world renowned milliner Marea Bright (we will have you using its correct name, Curvette – by the time you finish!).

Marea will discuss shapes and styles and you will be transported back to the hat shop, in the story of the Queen’s Purse. Create a design of your own, drape fabric, select embellishments and pin into place. When you are happy with the look, its time to stitch it all together. Stunning!
